Jamaican-born Canadian rapper BNJMN is one of our Heatseekers this weekend, riding on the strength of his "Empire Freestyle." Co-produced by BNJMN and Krs, his labelmate from their self-developed music label "88sound," this track is fire.
Starting off with bars that name check the Mario brothers and their nemesis, Bowser, BNJMN catches out attention quickly, and doesn't let it got for nearly 2.5 thrilling minutes of hookless rapping. The beat begins with strings, later splicing in piano and an off-kilter beat, making for a very triumphant backdrop to BNJMN's rhymes.
BNJMN is among our final four Heatseekers this week. To have your song or video feature on the homepage, enter here.
Quotable Lyrics:
Ok I'm swimmin' in these women like all I do is breast strokes
Rappers say they the best, they just the best hoax
Paintin' perfect pictures like 1080p, I'm flowin' nigga no broadband
You say you'll never cheat, I bet your broad can
